To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
To start, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. In a shallow dish, mix together the Parmesan cheese and flour. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs. Dip each chicken breast in the egg mixture, then coat it in the Parmesan mixture, pressing the cheese onto the chicken to make sure it sticks.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes, until cooked through.
While the chicken is baking, make the lemon herb butter sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Stir in the lemon juice, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper.
To serve, spoon the lemon herb butter sauce over the chicken breasts. Garnish with additional chopped herbs, if desired.
This Parmesan Chicken with Lemon Herb Butter Sauce is a perfect combination of crispy, cheesy, and tangy flavors. The chicken is tender and juicy, while the Parmesan crust adds a delicious crunch. The lemon herb butter sauce is the perfect finishing touch, adding a bright and fresh flavor to the dish.
